$1600 build final check!

The build looks pretty good. The PSU is overkill, though. This one would still easily power the system and save some $.

That DFI board also seems to have a pretty high DOA rate. I would rather get this motherboard in a combo for even cheaper:

Also agree on the P6T or P6T v2 Deluxe.


You should also get this PSU Power Extension cable. You will need it when going with a Bottom mounted PSU.

Also you should check out the Combo deals NewEgg has for the P6T, like the example below.

This is Ram/Mobo combo which would save you $22

thank you for all the great responses!! I'm changing me PSU to the CORSAIR CMPSU-850TX 850W and the motherboard to the ASUS P6T. I would like to get a fast hard drive but I'm not sure that I have the budget for it I'm going to see about it though.

Thanks again for all the awesome replies!
